I'm leaning towards a structured epigram, but I'm not completely sure. "The dominant type of writing during this time period, however, was satire. Satire is a type of writing in which something is ridiculed. This can be done in a number of ways. One example of satire would be the mock epic, which is when a long epic poem is written about a subject that is not really worthy of an epic. Satire is often a form of social commentary. Despite the strict adherence to the rules in most forms of neoclassical poetry, satire offered a relatively large amount of freedom for the writers. While restraint and order were emphasized, wit was also an important element during this time." http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-neoclassical-poetry.htm
